Section 4. Each new employee shall serve a probationary period of ninety (90) calendar days.

ARTICLE 8. – FILLING OF VACANCIES

It is the Company’s preference to promote from within when a vacancy occurs in a classification covered by this Agreement. When vacancies occur in any job classification covered by the Agreement the Company shall post notice of such vacancies internally for a period of three (3) workdays.

If there is a substantial increase in the number of bargaining unit personnel, the parties agree to meet and discuss additional stewards.

Section 2. Stewards shall investigate, present and process grievances without the loss of time or pay during his regular working hours.

It is understood, however, that in the case of offenses that the Company deems more serious, it may start at the step warranted up to and including discharge.

ARTICLE 13. – GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE AND ARBITRATION

Section 1. It is the intent of this Article to establish a procedure for the prompt adjustment of issues or disputes arising from the application or interpretation of express provisions of this Agreement. This procedure is intended to promote the prompt adjustment of grievances at the job level in an informal manner, whenever possible. If a matter cannot be resolved informally, a formal written grievance shall be filed. The grievance shall contain a full statement of the grievance and the facts upon which it is based, the section of the Agreement alleged to have been violated, the date it allegedly occurred and the action, and the remedy or adjustment sought. Grievances may only be filed by an affected employee or on his behalf by a union representative, with the affected employee’s consent. Grievances shall be processed according to the steps and time limits specified. These time limits may be extended as mutually agreed in writing.

A grievance shall be processed in accordance with the following procedure, except that no grievance shall be considered which has not been presented in accordance with Step 1 within ten (10) calendar days after the affected employee/grievant knew or had reason to know of the event, circumstances or facts giving rise to the grievance:

Step 1 The employee involved shall first confer with his Supervisor in order to amicably settle the matter, provided the Steward has been given an opportunity to be present. When operations permit, grievances shall be handled during normal working hours without any unnecessary interruption of work. If the dispute is not resolved, the Steward must file a formal grievance within five (5) business days after this meeting.

Step 2 If not settled or resolved at Step 1, the Union must submit the formal written grievance to the Operations Manager within five (5) calendar days after the Step 1 meeting. After receipt of the formal grievance, the Operations Manager and the Steward shall meet in person within ten (10) business days and attempt to resolve the grievance. If unable to resolve the grievance, the Operations Manager shall submit a written response to the Steward within ten (10) business days.

Step 3 If not settled or resolved at Step 2, the Union must elevate the grievance to the Company’s Labor Relations Lead or his designee within ten (10) calendar days, after receipt of the Step 2 response. The Labor Relations Lead and the Union's Business Representative will meet, in person or by telephone conference, within ten (10) business days. The Labor Relations Lead, or his designee, shall submit a written response to the Union Business Representative within ten (10) business days.

Step 4 If the Grievance is not resolved at Step 3, it must be referred to arbitration within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Company’s response at Step 3 or the date on which that response was due, whichever is earlier in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).

Section 2. The Arbitrator shall only have the authority to settle disputes arising under this Agreement concerning the interpretation and application of specific articles and sections allegedly violated involving the facts and circumstances of the particular grievance presented. The Arbitrator shall not have the authority to add to, subtract from, modify, alter or change any of the terms of this Agreement. The Arbitrator shall be bound by and rely exclusively upon the evidence admitted at the hearing and this Agreement.

Section 3. The Arbitrator shall render his decision within thirty (30) calendar days of the close of the hearing or receipt of the briefs (unless otherwise mutually agreed). The

Arbitrator's decision shall be in writing. The award shall be delivered or mailed to each party. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties.

Section 4. The cost of the arbitration assessed by AAA and the fees of the Arbitrator shall be borne equally by the Company and the Union. Each party shall bear the expenses and compensation of its own witnesses. In cases of cancellation, the party requesting cancellation shall pay all fees and costs of the Arbitrator. In cases where the cancellation is the result of a compromise settlement, the costs of the Arbitrator shall be shared equally by the parties (unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing). No more than one (1) grievance at a time shall be submitted to the same Arbitrator, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing.

Section 5. At every step or stage of this Article, time shall be of the essence. Failure of an employee or the Union to meet any deadline at any step of the grievance or arbitration procedure shall constitute a waiver of the grievance and/or right to proceed to arbitration and no further action may be taken on it. Failure of the Company to meet any deadline shall permit the Union to promptly elevate the Grievance to the next step of this procedure. Although time shall always be of the essence, the time limits set forth in this Article can be extended by mutual written agreement between the Company and Union.

Requests for extensions shall not be unreasonably denied.

Section 6. A Grievance concerning the application or interpretation of this Agreement initiated by the Company shall be filed in writing, with the Business Representative within ten (10) calendar days after a dispute arises. The grievance shall contain a full statement of the grievance and the facts upon which it is based, the section of this Agreement alleged to have been violated and the action, remedy or adjustment sought. The Union's Business Representative shall formally discuss the grievance with the Labor Relations Lead in person or by telephone conference, within ten (10) business days. If the Union and the Company are unable to resolve the grievance, the Business Representative, or his designee, shall submit a written response to the Labor Relations Lead within ten (10) business days. The Company may thereafter submit the grievance to arbitration within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Union’s response. Such a demand for arbitration will be served to AAA and the Union and will specify the alleged violation of the Agreement.
